Eight year old transforms a park
Ryan Wells is an eight year old boy who was concerned about the state of his local part in Lee, South London. It was filled with litter, the paths were overgrown with weeds. It was also used by drug addicts land street drinkers who leeft their syringers and bottles. It was certainly not a place where Ryan and his friends would play since older youths prowled around the part with agressive dogs.
And so the eight year old boy borrowed his mother’s camera, shots documentary evidence of the state of the part and then wrote a letter to the Mayor in which he complained about the park and said “There are so many kinds around in the streets in my area on the pavement and in the road, some as young as five without their mum. I would like to give them somewhere to go”.
The result is that the Mayor has set asde £10,000 for a “general tidy up” and to improve the children’s play area.
But eight year old Ryan hasn’t stopped there. He is now applying for £50,000 grant from a lottery fund to build a BMX bike track in the park!
